Thx for all the replies. I will do some research on them :D

While you're getting your 1200 Total, keep in mind that 500 hours of cross-country is also required. Make lots of trips to nearby airports.

To be specific, the X-C requirement for 135 is simply airport-airport X-C. But for any rating, those X-C's must be 50nm minimum on one leg. So the 135 X-C is pretty much a given by the time you reach 1200 TT, you'll have around 700+ airport-airport X-C. I think I had about 250+ 50nm X-C time, so all those days I went to another airport for touch-n-goes added to the madness.

Its not quite a given; most of the guys I have known have hit 1200 TT around the time they have 300-350 point2point x-country.

So I will basically fly to different airports that are at least 50nm from my origination. And I have to have 500 hours of that (xc), and that will also add on to my TT . . . . so 700 hours of random flying. :D

if 'random flying' is what you want to call it :P

what about just getting on with a regional @ 600-800 hours and then just building time there? getting that turbine time and no one said anything about PIC time, so that wouldn't matter (unless you upgraded that quick). THEN getting on with some freight co's?

There are many different paths to take and they all have their pros and cons. Pick which one you like the most and go for it. Good luck!
Isn't it very hard/competitive to get into those places and actually get to fly?
